Ok, I don't think I care what you wrote afterwards. And good luck having any business here with a such attitude.

What about countries outside of UN reach? Bastions of democracy like North Korea and Rwanda have better police?

...

This is especially true in the states, or countries within UN's reach.

Sounds like what is missing is your awareness of the connection between your actions and the outcome.

Maybe the legally dictated speed limit but it's treated more like a guideline. Ironically, Poland is a curious example. Even though their driving is disgusting compared to the other three, and much worse than NZ driving, you don't see their cops torturing people to teach them a lesson.

There are some places where 150kph motorway speeds are completely normal, like Germany and the Czech Republic and maybe France. Drug liberalisation probably needs a bit of work in Europe, but there also isn't such a huge cultural disconnect between the population and law enforcement either.

He's got a point though. I know a little bit about NZ, and together with Australia they are turning into mini USA-style dictatorships. Same sort of history - British Crown moves in, displaces the locals, installs puppet governments (which the Governor General, who works for the Queen, can sack at any time if things steer off course), and they spend decades shaping society in their old Feudalist image.

Their police seem to be in the business of traffic oppression and endless drug crack-downs. On the drug side of things, it doesn't matter that marijuana grows all over NZ like a pest, or that their legal system is always bursting at the seams because so many people choose to smoke it. The attitude is that the population must not be allowed self-determination and they must be controlled.

From the driving side, NZ has some of the most dangerous (and awesome) rally roads in the world, and Australia has some of the longest speed strips. And likewise, the attitude is that the population cannot be trusted, they must be constantly supervised to make sure no-one steps out of line. And you have to ask yourself: to what end? What is the point of all that supervision/control/oppression? The official excuse is always along the lines of "to save lives", "protect the innocents" and all that. Is it not understandable if some people get sick of it and rebel?

I'm sure that for the most part, the police forces of those 2 countries are "just doing their best", but the whole population really needs to reform their control-freakish attitudes and do something about their idiotic politics. Let me guess, in NZ Taniwhas are still preventing motorways from getting built? And in Australia it's still a kindergarten shit-show with the idiots Julia Gillard and Tony tight-undies Abbot?

Here in New Zealand, police corruption is getting worse by the month.


Im a victim myself of corruption/brutality.
